Hardik Pandya brought out a unique way to toss the coin up in the air, which seemingly had an impact as his side had won the toss. After winning the coin flip, the Mumbai Indians captain revealed that his decision was influenced by the dew factor, as it was always better to bat in the second innings at the Wankhede Stadium. 

“I think it is a lot to do with the dew, last night there was dew, and always at the Wankhede it is better to bat second... Everyone knew we had to give it all, and that made us close,” Skipper Hardik Pandya said at the toss, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
